Commission Meeting Date:  May 9, 2017

Staff Contact:

Shaun Coffey, Division Chief and Diane Stoddard, Assistant City Manager

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Award the temporary housing construction base bid for the Fire Station 1 project to B.A. Green Construction in the amount of $148,560. 

 

Executive Summary:

In order to accommodate the remodel of Fire Station 1 and the Senior Services portion of that building, fire/medical functions must be temporarily relocated during construction. 

 

Fire/Medical Staff evaluated multiple possible sites for this temporary relocation and ultimately determined that a temporary location on the site of Fire Station 1 itself would be the best option considering response times.  The temporary site will consist of a portable living unit for one engine company and house four fire fighters and a temporary apparatus bay to be located in vacated parking stalls along Kentucky Street.  The apparatus bay will be open air and enclosed by jersey barriers and screened fencing for security.  The project includes running all required utilities to the temporary housing portable living unit, temporary traffic and pedestrian control measures, and the removal of all temporary housing components following the completion of the building remodel project. The movement of operations to the temporary site and out of the building will enable the remediation project to commence, which needs to precede the construction/remodel portion of the project. 

 

Zimmerschied Architecture, the architecture firm designing the project, has bid the temporary housing construction component of the project.  Three bids were received and B.A. Green Construction was identified as the low bidder for the base bid.  Zimmerschied Architecture and City staff recommend award of the base bid to B.A. Green.  The Base bid provides all components of the temporary housing project for 1 year. Alternate #1 is the cost to keep all pieces of the package for one additional month, in one month increments.  Alternate #2 is a deduct alternate to remove the temporary housing pieces early in one month increments.
